26 Knots In, Boat Jobs Out - Cape Capricorn (Ep.72) | Sailing ARGO

We head north from Boyne Island to the tip of Curtis Island, chasing shelter at Cape Capricorn – but not before a bit of unexpected drama to kick things off. Before we could even leave, we had to drop the anchor back down and let out most of the chain to sort a messy tangle wrapped up in it – likely picked up at Pancake Creek after all that swinging around. A quick reset over by the public jetty did the trick, and with that sorted, we were finally free to go. What followed was a proper sporty sail. With winds peaking at 26 knots, we hit 9.4 knots and took the chance to throw in a genoa gybe – ARGO absolutely loving it. Once safely tucked in at Cape Capricorn, it was time to make the most of it. With a delivery from our legend mate Ros (thanks again! xx), we ticked off a few boat jobs – replacing worn press studs and bungee loops on our clears and screens. Easier than expected… always a win. Next episode – the wind sticks around, so we slip into Yellow Patch… and wow, what a place. You won’t want to miss that one. Thanks for watching.
